About AAV2 Vectors

AAV2 is the historical benchmark serotype, binding heparan sulfate proteoglycan for cell entry. It is the classic choice for retinal delivery (subretinal or intravitreal) and local CNS injection, and remains the reference against which newer serotypes are compared — though it carries the highest human seroprevalence. Every vector in this collection is a ready-to-use, qPCR-titered AAV2 preparation, including single-stranded and self-complementary (scAAV2) reporters and recombinases.

Choosing a serotype. Browse the related serotype collections: AAV9 (systemic CNS & muscle), AAV8 (liver), PHP.eB (brain-wide mouse CNS), AAV5 (astrocytes, lung), AAV2 (retina, benchmark), and AAV1 (muscle). AAV2 has the highest human seroprevalence — factor this into translational study design.
